Pomona Island Brew Co is a craft brewery based in Salford, Greater Manchester, England. Named after Pomona Island, a lost Victorian pleasure garden that once sat at the confluence of the rivers Irwell and Mersey in Salford, the brewery draws on a strong sense of local history and identity. Founded with an independent spirit firmly rooted in the north of England, Pomona Island has built a reputation as one of the more exciting and ambitious breweries to emerge from the Manchester area in recent years. The brewery is known for producing a wide and inventive range of modern beer styles, with a particular focus on hop-forward and experimental brews. Their portfolio includes New England IPAs, Double IPAs, Goses brewed with fruit additions such as strawberry, kiwi, lime and yuzu, and wheat beers influenced by contemporary techniques. Beers like their opaline IPA, which explores the space between a New England and West Coast style, and Really Big Bird, a 9% Double IPA described as one of the most hop-saturated releases in their lineup, illustrate the brewery's commitment to pushing boundaries within modern craft beer. Pomona Island beers have gained attention well beyond Greater Manchester, appearing at international beer festivals and on shelves at specialist retailers across Europe, including the Netherlands. The brewery has also hosted meet-the-brewer events, reflecting an engaged and community-minded approach to sharing their beers with enthusiasts.
